I made the generator too. My generators have motor John Deere, the generator is “MEZ mohelnice czech republic” and the parameters are: 230V / 6000W, 400V / 2000W. The generator used two generators, for the 230volt the generator is MEZ Mohelnice motor 6000W, 25A and for 400V the generator is SIEMENS motor 20A 2000W.

i think it is a alternator with permanent magnet becase one without a permanent magnet needs 12V with 3,5 amps..
i build my generator with a non permanent becxause its better to start
you can pull the line let the engine warm up and than suck energy out

not sure what each wire does but it has to be one of these
S terminal – Senses battery voltage(basically ground)
IG terminal – Ignition switch that turns the voltage regulator on
L terminal – Closes the circuit to the warning lamp
B terminal – Main alternator output terminal (connected to the battery,+)
F terminal – Full-field bypass for regulator
